Eh? I asked for the removal of the previous thread myself, and I didn't start this one.


I have been very careful not to get drawn in by the likes of certain posters who I will not name, so what do you think I have been sucked into, exactly?


Why am I not allowed to state facts - not theories - which are in the public domain elsewhere?


Why are people so keen to lay into me, when other posters are continuing to post on the topic?


If you want the thread to disappear, then why don't you tell people the reason and delete it, or ask that it be deleted?


What exactly have I said that is so terrible? Please can you give me some examples. Thanks.


ETA: If you intend to close all discussion on this case, then can I suggest that you have a forum rule that no cases of child disappearance can ever be discussed here, just so that everybody is quite clear :)

Thanks Mick Mac.


Glad he (or she) isn't my father :))


ETA: Though come to think of it, my father was equally patronising on occasion - when I was a child.

As I have already said above (short memories?), I asked for it to be deleted because a troll registered on the forum specifically to post on the thread and make accusations which were almost certainly libellous.


Given the propensity of the McCanns to set Carter Ruck on people, and given this country's libel laws (set to change thank goodness) I didn't want the forum involved in any sort of trouble, or to give admin any grief.


OK?


ETA: And I'd quite like an answer to the questions I asked you above :)

Why are you continuing to read the thread then, Woodrot?


Sincere question.


Easy answer to losing the will to live would be to read something else, wouldn't it?


:)

Exactly SJ. This is never going to be a balanced debate. This, like last time, is just one person forcing her view on others, a view based on the threory put forward by Amaral in his book. A book that was decided by a judge to be based on no hard evidence whatsoever. When anyone posts anything that reasonably challenges that theory, like for example why cadaver dogs can not be relied upon without supporting forensic evidence (of which none was found following the use of the cadaver dogs in the McCann case)(and look at the use of the same dogs in the Jersey Childrens Home case and the following media reporting - all of which had to be retracted) that person isn't interested in considering any of it.


Entirely agree with ratty. Losing their child is the highest price the McCanns could have paid for not having used a babysitter that evening.

Anyway, now I'm going to go and do other things, so you can all have a lovely time slagging me off whilst I'm gone.


Enjoy :)


Or of course you could follow your own advice and not keep posting on the thread, so it disappears :)


ETA: And DJKQ, as I have said, I am not going to be drawn in again by you.

Of course the fu*king parents are to blame. Because of their f*cking laziness and need to drink and dine rather than look after their children, one is most probably dead.



Neglect:

verb (used with object)

1.

to pay no attention or too little attention to; disregard or slight: The public neglected his genius for many years.


2.

to be remiss in the care or treatment of: to neglect one's family; to neglect one's appearance.


3.

to omit, through indifference or carelessness: to neglect to reply to an invitation.


4.

to fail to carry out or perform (orders, duties, etc.): to neglect the household chores.


5.

to fail to take or use: to neglect no precaution.

As I see it there are several different issues here.


1. Are the parents at least partly to blame? IMO Yes. When you have small kids you don't leave them alone unless you're a moron, and it is neglect of the worst kind. It is possible the child would have been snatched at another time, but don't make it bloody east FFS!


2. Should the parents be punished for it? They have been in the worst possible way, they have lost a daughter.


3. Is Sue like a dog with a bone? Yes


4. Does DJKQ love any opportunity to row with Sue? Yes


5. Can either of them just rise above it and not have the last word? Hell No!

This thread reminds me of Basil and his 'don't mention the war' sketch in Fawlty Towers. Basil (in this case Sue) can't help but mention it to a group of Germans (most of the rest of you) who might feel uncomfortable with the subject (possibly because you are parents yourselves).


My opinion is the parents were at fault for not looking after their children properly. If they feel the guilt that I imagine most parents would, then that is a life sentence. I doubt there is a parent here who hasn't made a mistake with their children, though hopefully not with similar consequences.


As humans we find it very easy a lot of the time to be judge and jury. Maybe it's because we are harsh on ourselves.

Indeed, there is.

Sadly, there are hundreds, most of who are not household names.

    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
